Biography
Humphrey de Bohun was born in 1276, and he succeeded his father Humphrey VI de Bohun as the Earl of Hereford on his death in 1298. He took part in the campaigns against the Kingdom of Scotland under King Edward the Longshanks in the 1300s, and he inherited much of the confiscated land that Robert the Bruce lost due to his shifting allegiances between Scotland and England. Bohun was given command of the English army that fought Robert at the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn, where Humphrey's nephew Henry de Bohun was killed by Robert at the start of the battle and the Scottish army destroyed the English. He was captured but later traded for Queen Elizabeth de Burgh of Scotland. In 1322 he rebelled against the young and inept King Edward II of England after he failed to obey the Magna Carta of 1214, but he was killed at the Battle of Boroughbridge, ending the revolt in Glamorgan.
